Job description

Plantation, FL | Full-Time | $38–$43/hour

We are recruiting an experienced Building Automation / HVAC Controls professional for a growing organization specializing in Building Automation Systems, Energy Management Systems, and HVAC Controls throughout South Florida.

This role is ideal for someone who can do more than install or service controls. We are looking for a hands‑on BAS professional with experience programming, configuring, commissioning, and troubleshooting Building Management Systems (BMS) in commercial HVAC environments.

What You’ll Do

Building Automation Systems (BAS) Controls Technician

Plantation, FL | Full-Time | $38–$43/hour

We are recruiting an experienced Building Automation / HVAC Controls professional for a growing organization specializing in Building Automation Systems, Energy Management Systems, and HVAC Controls throughout South Florida.

This role is ideal for someone who can do more than install or service controls. We are looking for a hands‑on BAS professional with experience programming, configuring, commissioning, and troubleshooting Building Management Systems (BMS) in commercial HVAC environments.

• Program, configure, modify, and troubleshoot Building Automation and Building Management Systems.
• Set up and commission BAS controllers, sensors, actuators, and related control devices.
• Modify control logic, sequences, setpoints, schedules, alarms, and system parameters.
• Perform system startups, point‑to‑point checkout, functional testing, and commissioning.
• Calibrate sensors and fine‑tune control loops for proper HVAC system operation and energy efficiency.
• Diagnose problems involving HVAC controls, controllers, sensors, actuators, communication networks, and connected equipment.
• Install, wire, configure, and integrate new controls and communication devices.
• Troubleshoot low‑voltage control wiring and BAS communication issues.
• Support system upgrades, expansions, software updates, backups, and database maintenance.
• Work with IP‑based building networks and communication protocols used within BAS environments.
• Maintain accurate field service reports, timesheets, and project documentation.
• Communicate professionally with customers, facility teams, contractors, and project stakeholders.

What We’re Looking For

The most important requirement is hands‑on BAS/BMS programming and setup experience.

We want someone who has personally worked inside building automation systems—not someone whose background is limited to traditional HVAC service, mechanical maintenance, or pulling controls wiring.

Ideal candidates will have experience with one or more platforms such as:

• Tridium / Niagara
• Schneider Electric
• Johnson Controls / Metasys
• Siemens
• Trane
• Comparable commercial BAS/BMS platforms

You should also have experience with:

• BAS controller programming and configuration
• HVAC control sequences and control logic
• Building Management Systems
• HVAC equipment integration
• Low‑voltage electrical and control circuits
• Sensors, actuators, controllers, and control panels
• BAS communications and IP networking
• System troubleshooting and diagnostics
• Startup and commissioning
• Electrical meters and diagnostic equipment

Experience with protocols such as BACnet/IP, BACnet MS/TP, Modbus, or similar building‑control communications is highly desirable.

Additional Requirements

• Strong troubleshooting and problem‑solving abilities
• Comfortable working independently in customer facilities and active jobsites
• Able to work in mechanical rooms, on rooftops, and from ladders when required
• Strong customer‑service and communication skills
• Ability to organize and prioritize multiple service calls or projects
• Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record
• Ability to complete a pre‑employment background check and drug screening
• Willingness to travel locally as required to support customer sites
• Technical degree, trade‑school training, controls certifications, or equivalent hands‑on experience preferred

Compensation & Benefits

$38–$43 per hour, depending on experience, BAS platform knowledge, and technical capabilities.

Benefits include:

• Company gas card
• Company expense card
• Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance
• Paid vacation
• Paid Federal holidays
• 401(k) with company match
• Strong career growth opportunities

Why This Opportunity?

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced BAS Technician, Controls Technician, Building Automation Specialist, HVAC Controls Technician, BAS Programmer, or BMS Technician who wants to continue developing their programming and controls expertise.

If you’re comfortable getting into a building automation system, programming and configuring controllers, commissioning equipment, and troubleshooting a controls problem from the software all the way down to the field device, we’d like to speak with you.
